Hey guys
I've started customizing some of my figures, swapping some arms and legs around, and am planning on starting to paint a little soon as well. It's all fun and games, but i have a little problem when it comes to finding good replacement hands for some figures. The best case scenario would be for all the figures to have articulated hands, but on figures with short sleeves, i don't think i looks good when you swap some of the non-articulated gloved hands out with articulated ones, as they're missing some cuffs. How do you solve this? Do you just don't use articulated hands, and keep the ones with the cuffs on them? I know that for example Chuckles and Mainframe have some cuffs added to their left hand, so if those are available somewhere, that might be a solution, but other than that, i'm stumped. Any suggestions? |

even most of the short sleeves have some sort of wired cuff or watch going on. for ones that dont, I've taken the chuckles cuff and cut it in half or thinned it down rather and turned it into two cuffs. left one on chuckles and put the other one on a custom figure.
